This was the message this morning of the new church that K and I have started to go to. This decision was a hard yet easy one for us to make. It was hard in that change is always hard and it was hard to leave some people behind that I love dearly and have formed great friendships with over the past 6 years that I have attended that church. However, like I have said to many when asked why I decided to leave and follow our pastor: I don't attend church for the name, people, building, or ties. I attend church to worship God and I feel like following Pastor to this new church is where my family and I and can best do that right now.
Our pastor prayerfully decided that he wanted to start another church based on the "simple" concepts that he has been teaching us for a while (Love God, Love Others, Serve Others). Last week was his last day at our old church where he was a pastor for 13 years. What a step of faith he has taken! God has worked many miracles this week to allow so many things to fall into place: a meeting place for the new church, a church office across the street from the meeting place that is almost completely furnished, as well as many other things that I could go on and on about. God is taking care of the details!
This morning we had over 150 in service, which I thought was great! I am excited about our focus and the style of worship (contempory) we will have. I feel like we are set to win people to Christ! I am looking forward to what God is going to do with his people that have faith in Him!
